2nd time at Smytham. Lovely peaceful site that is very well maintained in the middle of Devon countryside very close to Rosemoor.The Tarka Trail is on its doorstep, which is great for cycling.You can hire bikes at the reception. The swimming pool is small but ideal for those hot days, but again very well maintained.There is a bar which was open at weekends.We stayed in the en suite pitch which has its own shower toilet sink.it also has a heater and extractor fan, outside washing up sink and undercover area.We enjoyed our stay even though the weather was indifferent.The only negative for us was the new metered electric.When you arrive on site,you have to set up an app stating start date time and finish date time.You are allowed 5kw a day spring summer and 8kw autumn and winter.When you are on holiday you don't want to be assessing your electric usage, what you can use and what you can't.After that you are charged per kilowatt.The kilowatt allowance only covers bas
A great few days in May. Easy access to The Tarka Trail and SW coast path.The site is quiet and beautifully cared for by a dedicated team.
We stayed in a family camping pod. Very warm and cosy. The canopy at the front gave protection for sitting out at night and if it was raining.The picnic bench and smaller table and chairs were a good addition for eating outside.The new showers were immaculatey clean, and the washing up area and all facilities are nicely kept. The grounds are immaculate, and lovely mixed native hedges around the site with lots of birds nesting. We had a lovely Robin visit every day, even perched on my foot!The swimming pool looked lovely, unfortunately I forgot my cossie. Close to the Tarka trail for a nice walk.and local to Torrington for any shopping you need. Rosemoor garden is just down the road. All in all a lovely site with lovely staff.Would highly recommend a stay here.Thankyou for a very enjoyable time.
Lovely well maintained site with very clean facilities. Our dog loved her daily outing along the Tarka Trail.
We cycled in from the amazing Tarka Trail through woodland and onto the site to stay in a pod for the night. The heater was welcome on the cool April evening and the showers were the best campsite ones ever!! Heat adjustable and powerful, what a welcome treat. A lovely coffee from reception in the morning put us on our way back on the trail, really looking forward to returning next year.
We stayed for three nights in our campervan on the en-suite pitches and can thoroughly recommend the extra cost. Staff were brilliant, the site was superb and the location close to the Tarka Trail made walking and cycling very straightforward. I can thoroughly recommend this site to anyone wanting to experience the Devon countryside.
A lovely site which is very well managed. Staff are friendly and very helpful. This was our second stay and we shall definitely be returning.
Smytham is the perfect site for visiting local attractions, it is quiet, great clean facilities, friendly owners and staff. The facilities building is immaculate and the washing up room even has a dishwasher. After getting a puncture in one of our caravan tyres, the owner offered to come to our pitch to help tighten the nuts on the wheel before we drove home. Thank you.
